What's a Club QSO Party?
A Club QSO party is an activity designed for clubs to work each other. When the SJRA turned 100 years old, the club QSO party was created to celebrate the club’s 100th anniversary. All members of the SJRA signed their Call Signs / 100 for the entire year of 2016. The contest ran for 7 days so that it would include the official anniversary date of June 16th. During 2026 we will be celebrating 110 years.
Our members had so much fun with the Club QSO party that we are inviting all clubs to celebrate their age. We have created a special event station environment to coincide with the ARRL Year of the Club initiative. This provides an opportunity to share club information with other radio amateurs.
Members of other clubs would sign their callsign with /## indicating the age of the club they are affiliated with. We also encourage clubs to put their club stations (club call sign) on the air as well making this large scale coordinated effort.
Please join us in celebrating your radio club’s age and history as we celebrate our own.

2026 ARRL Field Day
Theme: A National Resource This year’s Field Day theme is “Amateur Radio: A National Resource.” Combined with the ARRL Year of the Club, it provides the perfect opportunity for radio clubs to set up stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill, and service to our communities and our nation. We will be setting up at the March Field Air Museum in the overflow parking lot next to the courtyard on Friday, June 26. The exercise begins at 1100 Saturday and runs through 1100 Sunday. We will be operating the full 24 hours, so feel free to bring a tent or RV if you would like to spend the night. All interested club members can sign up for an operating shift. Saturday night dinner will be provided by the club, as well as plenty of cold drinks throughout the event to help keep us cool! Weekend of June 27 - 28 @ March Field Air Museum |
